Starvation deaths : Team for WB to trace father of deceased girls
A day after a preliminary magisterial probe report sought a deeper investigation into the conduct of the father of the three girls, who died allegedly due to starvation in east Delhi, a police team was on Saturday sent to his native place in West Bengal to trace him, a senior officer said
New Delhi: A day after a preliminary magisterial probe report sought a "deeper investigation" into the conduct of the father of the three girls, who died allegedly due to starvation in east Delhi, a police team was on Saturday sent to his native place in West Bengal to trace him, a senior officer said.
Mangal Singh, the father of the girls, is untraceable since Tuesday, when the girls were declared dead by doctors of a city hospital.
A magisterial probe report had said Singh had given some "unknown medicine" to his daughters by "mixing it in hot water" on the night of July 23 and he had been missing since the morning of July 24.
Police said they were awaiting the viscera report, which would help determine whether the girls were given any medicine that could have led to their death.
The sisters were declared brought dead by doctors at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital on July 24. The initial autopsy reports had suggested that they died due to starvation.
